U.S. cavalry soldier.

Born in 1834 in Virginia, Frederick William Benteen sided with the Union during the Civil War, fighting as an officer with the 10th Missouri Cavalry. After serving briefly as the colonel of a Negro regiment, Benteen was appointed captain in the new 7th Cavalry in 1866 and served in all of its western Indian campaigns until 1882. Credited with saving the regiment from even greater disaster at Little Big Horn, Benteen was unwavering in his animosity toward George Armstrong Custer and supported Maj. Marcus A. Reno in the later inquiry over his actions. Benteen retired to Atlanta in 1888, after six years as a major with the 9th Cavalry, and died there in 1898.
